We had a relaxing week at Cobalt Coast after a very busy work travel schedule and the stress of missing flights in the holiday season . The small resort is on the coral reef area of Grand Cayman, away from the busy Seven mile beach resort area, so taxi or hire care added is recommended if you want to eat out, get groceries and go to a sandy beach or explore further. Our room was simple , modern basic furnishings and shower toilet . They will kindly arrange one change of linen during your stay if you request it. We were grateful when the aircon failed overnight, that the Manager was able to call a repair man the next afternoon to fix it. The restaurant Nova is a separate entity to the hotel but has great fish (branzino my favorite) and you can eat around the pool area, where you can also swim or practice diving certification, before going out to the dive sites. The Divetech shop is also separate entity but they use part of the building for the divers to set up - the boardwalk from hotel goes to metal steps to the sea, for the divers, and if you want to snorkel nearby you get to use the snorkelling equipment daily too. We appreciated seeing someone cleaning up in front of the hotel coral reef, where plastic trash has washed in, unfortunately this was not evident everywhere we walked closeby along the waterfront. It would be nice if paths were made to make it easier to walk or run along the beach coral front like the friendly local neighbors have done towards the cemetery - you can walk on the roads if you want too. Recommended if you like a more quiet setting - only busy when the restaurant is full and if you dive its very convenient too.
